this is very wrong - i was up to long dealing with a problem
related to this - and i had no business thinking ...
or doing email.

1. note that all references you provided, and 20 others i've read, state:
script starting with a line of the form "#! interpreter [arg]".
emphasis on "starting" - it does not say that there must (or should),
not be any more to the line before the end of the line. it could've
been written to say:
"script containing a line of the form ..." or
"script consisting of a line of the form ..." or
"script with a line of the form ...", etc.
but it wasn't written that way. all man pages say "starting" ...
i don't think the word was used frivolously, i think it was used
intentionally, for a reason.
